Pre-alpha is more like it. ;-) We're not nearly feature-complete (only
terminological functionality for now), we haven't done a systematic
security and quality review of the code yet, and we're not up to date
with the latest MediaWiki. Still, things have been progressing nicely:
We now have a fairly flexible data and user interface model, are
working on a generic versioning layer, and have some interesting top
secret projects as well ;-). Most importantly, people have recently
been given the ability to add new expressions/meanings, and started to
systematically do so for a list of 1000 English words:

I'm very happy that Wikimedia is willing to host the project. Let's
discuss the exact operational parameters at Wikimania.
